Among the places to be seen in Naoussa, we will certainly mention, without hesitation, the beautiful churches and chapels in white that overhang houses with blue windows. Do not miss the church of St. Nicholas, considered to be the patron saint of sailors. Located a few minutes from the port of Parikiá, this charming church currently houses a multi-storey bell tower and a beautiful octagonal dome. The Church of the Dormition of the Virgin, considered to be the third most important church in Paros, also deserves the detour. Fancy a panoramic view of the Venetian castle rising to the North of the port? Go for a walk to the church overlooking the harbour, before heading to the monastery of Saint Andrew, built-in 1648.
